You stupid b**** think you&#8217;re so much better than everyone at the internet invitational. Go kill yourself you stupid c***&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Spiranac followed it up with an emotional response, during which she started to cry as she explained the difficulties she has socializing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The 32-year-old said to the camera: &#8216;Thank you so much for all the really kind messages. It truly means a lot to me. I don&#8217;t normally do this but this hate, for some reason, has just been really hitting home for me.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-9433334152991ffd\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/103566311-15255323-image-a-81_1762230485681.jpg\" height=\"1134\" width=\"634\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Paige Spiranac broke down in tears on Instagram after sharing some horrific abuse from trolls<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-436e22a534e4fdc9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/103566075-15255323-Spiranac_shared_some_of_the_backlash_she_received_following_the_-m-95_17622309097.jpeg\" height=\"750\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Spiranac shared some of the backlash she received following the Internet Invitational event\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Spiranac shared some of the backlash she received following the Internet Invitational event<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I&#8217;ve struggled socially my entire life. I&#8217;ve struggled in big groups of people, making friends, keeping friends, relating to other people, reading social cues, saying the right thing at the right time. It&#8217;s just been really hard for me my entire life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I know that might sound weird considering what I do but I&#8217;m just not effortlessly liked. It&#8217;s just hard for me in big groups of people. So at the Internet Invitational, I was really excited because I felt like I could fit in in the industry and be there for my team and show up. I was really excited about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;So it&#8217;s just been really hard to see this reaction to being so unliked. I hate it. I know there are more important things in life than wanting to be liked but I do want to be liked and I want to fit in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I&#8217;ve tried for a lot of my life to find places where I can fit in and when I was at the Internet Invitational I felt really good. Now to watch it back and these deep insecurities from childhood or whatever are coming back and it&#8217;s confirmation that you&#8217;re actually not liked. You&#8217;re annoying, no one likes you and you suck and you&#8217;re terrible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It&#8217;s just hard because you feel good in that one moment and that maybe you&#8217;re going to be liked and fit in. And it&#8217;s like &#8220;just kidding. Everyone hates you&#8221;.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Internet Invitational is a\u00a0Ryder Cup-style event, which features a collection of 48 top YouTube golf creators playing various golf formats with a staggering $1million up for grabs.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-53eadd47c7391ff2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/103566481-15255323-image-a-82_1762230687687.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Spiranac is playing in The Internet Invitational, which features 48 top YouTube golf creators\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Spiranac is playing in The Internet Invitational, which features 48 top YouTube golf creators<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-b81e084e2bdc9b52\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/102693509-15255323-Paige_Spiranac_shared_several_snaps_with_her_fans_from_her_recen-m-13_17622601148.jpeg\" height=\"643\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Spiranac recently shared several snaps with her fans from her vacation to Europe\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Spiranac recently shared several snaps with her fans from her vacation to Europe<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-ee6e7b816a85226d\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/97833023-15255323-She_has_amassed_an_army_of_four_million_followers_on_Instagram-a-14_1762260182691..jpeg\" height=\"460\" width=\"306\" alt=\"She has amassed an army of four million followers on Instagram\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>    <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-a341dd39a9c457c6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/97833015-15255323-Spiranac_frequently_shares_sultry_snaps_to_social_media-a-15_1762260182692.jpg\" height=\"460\" width=\"306\" alt=\"Spiranac frequently shares sultry snaps to social media\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">She has amassed\u00a0an army of four million followers on Instagram thanks to her sultry poses<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Spiranac found herself at the center of some drama on the first day of coverage when she revealed that her partner for the first two matches, Roger Steele, had some &#8216;unresolved beef&#8217;
